A NASA study is showing that
large-scale biomass burning, accidental fires and on-purpose
land clearing, etc, can have a profound and long-range impact on
climate, with the effects being rather immediate.
"Scientists using NASA satellites and computer models have
shown that pollutants from Central American biomass burning can
influence air quality and climate in the United
States."..more there, and a lot of images
